THE ELECTION OF TURPIE.
How 1t Is Regarded by the Press Of the
State and Country.
Turpie's Fraudulent Election.

Chicago Tribune.
President Cleveland is said once to have re-
marked that there are no meaner Dem ocrats
than those in Indiana-an observation fully con-
firmed by the fraudulent election of Turpie to
the United States Senate. The alleged election
of Turpie is one thing; his admission to the SEN
ate quite another 1t is claimed that Turple
secured the vote of Robinson by subscribing to
the political dogmas of the Knights of Labor,
but the Legislature has been challenged already
to investigate the proofs of bribery and corrup-
ton. This challenge may be ignored in Indian
apolis, but it must be met in Washington.
Moreover, the Democratic Senate Of Indiana Is
now illegally organized, and acquired the power
to cast a Democratic vote for United States Sen
ator only By fraudulent usurpation in debarring
the Lieutenant governor elect from his seat ana
counting out lawfully elected members. The
Senate of the United States cannot permit seat
in that body to be won by the lawless and revo-
lutionary proceedings followed in Indiana
The Indiana Republicans ought to have shown
greater frInness in refusing to make compro-
misses, and in resisting the violent usurpatlon
carried out by the Democracy. Lieutenant
governor Manson having resigned his Office to
accept federal appointment, the Attorney
general of the State decided that there was a
vacancy, and both the Republican and Demo
cratic parties presented candidates, who were
voted for at the election last fall, Colonel Rob
ertson, the Republican, receiving majority,
! and becoming the lawful presiding officer of the
| Senate. The Democratic Supreme Court refused
TO restrain him from taking his seat. He should,
| therefore, have taken the Office to. which he
was elected, and held it at all hazards: but the
| choice made by the people at the ballot box
was set aside. an authorized, usurping Demo
crat installed in the presidency of the Senate,
| and the fraudulent reorganization of that body
| accomplished SO far as the Legislature of In
| diana was concerned. The result reached in
the election of Turpie is tainted throughout
with fraud and revolutionary proceedings.
| The joint convention which pretended to cleo,
'rurpie was illegally organized. constituted con
| trary to the expressed will of the people of In
DIANA and hence without power to make valid
election. The people of Indiana may be trusted
| to resent the shameful attempt to Mackenzie
| the result of the election last fall, and the
| United States Senate must refuse to seat pre-
/! tended Senator whose credentials smack strong
| ~ of bribery aud are attested by usurpation and
| fraud

Trouble Between Senator and Reporter.
Herbert ". Hess, reporter for the Sentinel
allowed his adjectives to run off with his eudg-
ment in referring in that paper to Senator Ken
nedy yesterday. AT the Denison House. last
evening, Mr.. Hess was slapped tho face by
the indignant Senator, whom he called liar.
Senator Harrison interfered and saved Hess
from further punishment, as he repeated his
epithets and showed disposition to make fur
Their trouble. The language in the
Sentinel that gave offense to Senator
Kennedy was an alusion TO him as "a ppsllan-

Frank Thompson, of Thorntown, was sent to
the work-house yesterday morning for drunken

given the police great deal of trouble in the

stole a coat from the Bates House several
months ago, and who afterward attempted to
secure money from several prominent business
men under false pretenses.

The result of to-day's vote for Senator gives
Turpie seventy-six votes on the face of things,

Such a result has been regarded as foregone

Republicans of Randolph county are not of the

to indulge in abusive language or harsh epithets.

- The present Ohio Supreme Court can
be depended on to do anything that Repub-
lican partisans demand. Auditor McCon-
nell, of Fulton county, has served one term,
and was reelected for the next term, but by
a change in the law there was an interim of
ten months between the close of his last and
the beginning of his next term. To cover
these ten months the commissioners re-
quired him to give new bond, which he did,
and continued with his official duties. Sub
sequently it occurred to the Republican
commissioners of Fulton county that it
would be much pleasanter to have Repub-
lican in the auditors Office even for few
months, and SO they proceeded to vote Nc
Cornell out and vote Republican in
But Mcconnell properly claimed that
he had been required to give bond
which had been accepted by the COM

fill the vacancy, and he declined to vacate.

Court. Of course that settled 1.-THE judicial

He Bought a Glass of .Barm.,,

I had much curiosity to taste the vari-
ous beverages of which the English con-
sumo such enormous quantities. Pass
ing public house in bennington one
morning saw sign in the window,
"Fresh Barn" l thought this must be
some kind of home brewed ale, so I
stepped in and asked the barmaid for q
glass of BARN. She looked at me in sur
prised way and said, "a glass O. BARN,
sir?''
"Why, yes," replied, II guess I'll
take glass "
AS soon as l uttered the words II
guess" she knew I wasn't O native, and
at the same time she thought it might be
the custom where came from to take my
BARN by the glass. So she went away
and came back presently with glass Of
yeast! Hooked at it, at the BARN, then at
the barmaid, who began to grin, felt INV
ears growing red, coughed slightly, laid
down two pence and hurried out, leaving
the strange beverage behind me untasted.
Since that experience have been wary of
asking for things with unfamiliar names
unless l have fortified myself by previous
investigation. London Letter in Buffalo

''It is fortunate thing" said an old
resident the other day, ''that the death of
Logan has turned public attention to the
school in which he imbibed the principles
of patriotism and the fundamental idea OF
personal integrity. Difficulties thrown in
the way of boy developed the qualities
that made the stubborn, aggressive and
persistent man. The difficulties OF en-
vironment in pioneer times made of boy
who had the material to build on the very
best kind of man. In the city latent
qualities of the severest type of manliness
may not be developed in the boy because
there is nothing to call for their mani
festation.
''Not many children now prize an edu-
cation as we did in the olden times, and
not many are excited to that enthusiasm
that made the poor country boy fanatic
in the matter of gaining information. l
can remember when l was boy of 0 or
10 of taking my little wagon with its
wheels cut out of thick plank, home
made in every particular; remember Of
going with this little wagon half mile to
where the bark had fallen from the rails
along q fence, and of gathering this bark
and hauling it home to make light every
night that | might study OF read The
idea that O boy should have q candle by
which to pursue his studies was not
thought of.
''This handling of the bark was my own
idea, and my own venture entirely. After
supper, or after the cooking utensils had
been removed from the big fireplace, car
ried in my load of bark, and would put
piece after piece on the Goals, as needed, to
make light for my reading. l have al
ways felt sympathy for W. D. Howells,
because his old father told me years ago
that the man who is now the leading nov
elist in America was in the habit Of doing
much the same thing, and that the most of
the reading and study that fitted Howells
for his first work in literature was done
by freight.
''That wcs not more than forty or forty
five years ago, and yet in q good many
houses in the farming regions OF Ohio and
Indiana, to say nothing of Illinois, COM
paratively few candles were burned. There
was, of course, at that time no kerosene
or inexpensive oil for lamps. The lamp
in common use was shallow iron cup,
with u pitcher sort of mouth, into which
was put lard or meat fryings, and q mar
row strip of cotton or linen cloth. This
typical lamp of the olden times was stuck
in crack between the logs, or hung on a
nail, and if the lard was not too salty it
gave q fair light, but for the purposes OF
study the freight was better. Inter
